We also expect San Diego State to bolster its Mountain West Championship odds if it can snap a two-game skid against New Mexico, which is riding its own losing streak.

Here is our game preview for tonight's game as part of our college football Week 11 predictions.

New Mexico vs. San Diego State betting splits

San Diego State opened as short as -3 across our best sportsbooks, but we've seen the market move toward New Mexico ahead of tonight's matchup.

That market movement comes despite the Aztecs drawing two-thirds of the spread bets ahead of this Mountain West clash, so sharps could be targeting the underdogs to end a two-game losing streak.

Turnovers could decide the result, and the arrow points to Aztecs

There's not much separating these two sides. The visitors come in with one of the country's best offenses. However, Bronco Mendenhall’s men rank 131st of 133 among FBS teams in scoring defense. Meanwhile, San Diego State is average to below average in the those categories.

Both teams feature promising quarterbacks in Devon Dampier and Danny O’Neil, but it’s important to remember they’re young. That's especially true with the Lobos’ signal caller, who has struggled to take care of the football.

Turnovers could prove to be the difference in this matchup between high-octane offenses.

That's one of the few reasons we’re giving a slight edge to the Aztecs.

San Diego State boasts a far better turnover margin (+3) than New Mexico (-8) this year, and every possession matters in closely contested clashes. The hosts also beat the only common opponent the teams share, Wyoming, whereas the Lobos fell at home to the Cowboys in Week 10.

BetMGM offers the best odds for bettors looking to back the Aztecs. The standard price of -110 is great value to grab the hook as part of your college football Week 11 predictions. You can avoid the potential push the offerings from some of our other best college football betting sites could invite.

New Mexico-San Diego State Over 66 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Caesars lists New Mexico-San Diego State with the third-highest total of Week 11 at 66, trailing only Utah State-Washington State and Oklahoma State-TCU. We’re not letting that scare us away from betting the over in the slugfest at San Diego though.

 New Mexico boasts a top-25 scoring offense that averages nearly 35 points per game. The Lobos also boast the No. 7 total offense, and they're leaning 7-2 to the Over this season. While San Diego State (22.5 points per game) hasn’t been as clinical, there’s little worry considering Air Force — the nation’s worst scoring offense — put up 37 points on New Mexico.

The Aztecs and Lobos combine to surrender 68.4 points per contest. The total has been bet down from 67.5 throughout the week, which is why we're putting a four-star confidence on these teams going Over the updated line.
